End of Summer Weekend

A 5-day weekend coming to an end. I could have gotten a few more things done, but I just didn't.

I did get all the needed errands done. I also picked up a "farm share" of vegetables given to us by good friends who are out of town. We are getting spoiled with the generosity of people giving us fresh vegetables.

~A sampling of what I had to choose from~

We had no real plans this weekend. We just planned to be home.

I did something we've not done in awhile because its been so hot -- I got out the tennis balls, and played a good round of "Chuckit" with Todd. He can actually put TWO tennis balls in his mouth. Something that not many Golden Retrievers can even do.

The weather really could not have been more perfect! Hurricane Hermine totally missed us.

Cool mornings allowed us to have the widows open overnight.

There was even time for a nap or two. At least Mo, our foster cat tried to take a nap. Todd never can pass up the chance to harass him.

We also had a fairly low key weekend. In the lake one summer at my parents Phod got 3 balls in his mouth! I laughed so hard when he couldn't get the 4th. Glad it has cooled down and the storm missed you. Enjoy your week.

i love your life! i couldn't live it because i don't have your courage.but how i do love it.isn't the picture where the bee and the butterfly are sharing the flower wonderful! not to mention the doggy pictures. only a cat could sleep so relaxed with a little terrorist peeking at her! LOLxoxo♥

Truly was a beautiful weekend plus beautiful weather here in Western Michigan . . . Best I remember in a long while. Open windows . . . what a treat! Humidity rolled back in and the air is back on . . ,It is what it is . . .Way to go Todd . . . enjoy your form of tennis . . ,

Just another weekend this side of the pond, but we're glad to hear that you enjoyed yourselves and were able to relax.Our first Lab., Sultan nearly always walked round with two tennis balls in his mouth and we often found he had a golf ball at the back of his throat ! He occasionally managed three tennis balls. Lovely photos of all the crew, but the one of Mo trying to nap had me laughing !

A Little About Me...

In 2007 my dream of living in the country and sharing it with senior Golden Retrievers came true when we moved to a small town in Northern Virginia into a home that would become 'Golden Pines.' Our lives are now filled with more rescued Goldens and Labs than I'll admit to, a Wheaten Terrier, a lively little Scottie named Todd, and one very tolerant cat and one that's not tolerant at all. This blog chronicles snippets of a life that has truly 'gone to the dogs!'
